Ingredients
Carrot Almond Apple Cake
- Ingredients
- 7 ozs carrots
- 22 ozs Apple
- 2 Tbsps lemon juice
- 4 eggs
- 7 Tbsps sugar
- 7 Tbsps butter
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- 3 ½ ozs ground almonds
- 3 ½ ozs Cornmeal
- butter (for the pan)
- 3 Tbsps Apricot jam
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Peel the carrots and apples. Finely grate one apple and all the carrots. Halve the remaining apple, core, cut into half moons, and drizzle with lemon juice. Separate the eggs.
Whip the egg whites until stiff. Beat the butter with half the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at at time. Stir together the ground almonds and baking powder and fold into the carrot and apple mixture. Combine the carrot mixture with the butter mixture. Fold in the egg whites.
Evenly spread the dough into a greased springform pan. Place the sliced apples around the top in a fan shape. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Melt the jam and brush it over the cake while still warm. Let the cake cool in the mold. Remove from the mold and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
